10만원 갑자기 받았다~

I've been meaning to cancel my Kwangju Bank account for a few months now. I haven't used it since April, when I'd made the full switch to KEB (Korea Exchange Bank). Since I got off work early today and I was in the neighborhood, I went ahead and went to cancel it.

It went by fairly smoothly, although the fact that my address had changed and I hadn't informed them of it (oops?) caused a bit of consternation. More importantly, however, was the fact that the bank teller informed me that I'd accrued points. I'd signed up for this bank account with my boss back in January 2010. I recall writing my name several times and being presented with my card and bank book. No other information was given. I had no idea that my debit card had a points option.

Well, color me surprised when I received a full pay out of 100,000won. That's roughly 100USD. A nice way to end the week!
